On September 1, 1939 the Nazis attacked and bombed Warsaw
Only children under the age of 6 months could get milk because above that age, people were considered adults
The Jews were separated from the Arians by a tall wall with barbed wire and broken glass on top so no one could get in or out
If a Jewish person was seen on the Arian's side they would be killed
Little kids would dig tunnels under the wall to get food but if they got caught then they would be killed
Jan Zabinski was in the Polish Resistance
Jan created a secret plan for Jews to get into the zoo
In the zoo, people would be disguised to look like Arians then they would leave
One of the ways Jews would be disguised is they would have their hair bleached but for some Jews, not all their hair would change blonde and this was a problem
After Jews were disguised, they were taken to the Arians side but if their disguise was not good enough, they would be killed
Paper clips are a symbol of the Holocaust. Invented in Norway, paper clips were worn by Norwegians to remember the people who perished in the Holocaust.
In the movie "Paper Clips", a very small school in a small town called Whitwell, Tennessee started to learn about the Holocaust. They started to collect paperclips because they wanted to know what 6 million looked like. Their goal was to collect 11 million paperclips. Within a couple weeks they collected about 100,00 paperclips. When this happened, they all started to get very excited. Soon after this they were not getting as many. One day their school was mentioned on the news and it told the world what they were doing. People started donating tons and tons of paperclips. Before very long they got over 26 million paperclips from all kinds of people, even celebrities. The school decided to put 11 million of the paperclips on an authentic Holocaust railcar.
Survivor Stories
Moshe
Moshe was born in Hungary at 1920. He ran away with gentile partisans when World World II began. He had to be disguised and pretend to be a gentile because the partisans hated Jews. Something very disturbing happened that Moshe witnessed while he was there. Since the partisans disliked Jews, they abused and killed them. Moshe was there to witness this. When Moshe came back to his village after the war, he found that his family and other Jews had died. He then left to Israel to start a new life.

Eva Galler
On a train people started to pull out barbed wire off windows so they could jump out. Parents and young adults would go with little children because even if the little children made it out without getting shot, they would be able to survive on their own. One day Eva, her brother, and her sister jumped off the train together. Eva lied down in the snow until she didn't here any more shots fired. After she got up she took off her star of David and threw it on the ground promising herself to never wear it again. Then she walked around in trying to find her brother and sister but when she found them, they were both dead. Eva later had jobs with and was under false names and also pretended to be catholic until the end of the war when she escaped.
